Just bought a sweet 2003 zebra striped Orion from a seller on ebay in california... great great price with case, in NEW shape....i started playing bass about 20 years ago..... was in many bar bands and garage bands at that time.... more or less took off from serious play for many years..... now really getting back into it .....
just bought a new Hartke 810XL cabinet.... a new hartke HA5500 head to run it..... a warwick standard 4 string.....a michael kelly natural tiger stripe with tribal flame inlay acoustic..... annnnnnnnnd as of yesterday my new BABY arrived..... the Orion! i Finally joined all of you luckey Alembic owners.....after my first hour messing with it, i see WHY they are hands down THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!! look forward to blaaaaabing with you guys .....DaN

Welcome,
what would be an Alembic without the blaaaaabing??
(huhuhuh ...sometimes I am better in blaaaabing than in bassing!)
That IS an beautiful piece of wood!
Enjoy!

Good morning Dan
Awesome bass congratulations. That's a pretty serious rig. Are you planning on returning to the world of live music?
